Problem:
When moving between months, the url now looks like this:
domain.com/(/?:events)/(/?:month)/2020-05/ when it should look like domain.com/events/month/2020-05/

Solution:
Events Calendar takes the translation of months from WordPress language files. If you have those translation downloaded, month and day strings will be loaded from those files. Otherwise, you can delete language files and translate months using WPML.

Problem:

[French] is shown in French translations.

Solution:

I've checked things on your site and found out that the problem is coming from one of the files in the following location:

/wp-content/languages/wpml/

Please proceed as follows.:

1. Take a backup of your site in case something goes wrong so you will be able to restore things before the following changes.

2. Connect to your site with FTF or use the WP File Manager plugin that is installed on your site. And go to /wp-content/languages/wpml/.

3. Select all the files in this folder and delete them.

4. Visit WPML -> String Translation. This should generate new files in /wp-content/languages/wpml/ and fix the problem.

**** Important! Please make a full site backup (files and DB) before you proceed with those steps****

Problem:
When translating a page, it includes content that doesn't exist on the page. Upon investigation, I found that this is content that was added to the native WordPress editor. Upon switching the editor to Divi Builder, it saves it in the background, so it can be restored when you disable the Divi Builder again.

The problem is that WPML also sends this old content to the translator, who will then translate and charge for it. I can't find a way to get rid of it from within WordPress/Divi, so was hoping there is a way to exclude it from being send to the translator.

Solution:
The field that you're looking for is _et_pb_old_content.

I'm not sure if this field is needed by the Divi builder or not, but I went to WPML → Settings → Custom field translation, searched for this field, pressed the lock icon to be able to change its settings, and set it to copy (just to be safe).

Now, I went back to the page I created (in the original language), just hit the Update button (without opening the page in Divi builder), then updated the translation. This time, the field-_et_pb_old_content didn't appear anymore.

Problem: if you use Uni CPO and Multicurrency, you get always the default currency symbol even when you switch languages

Problem:
update from old version

Solution:

1. Different versions of WPML can be downloaded from this link here, under your WPML.org account - https://wpml.org/download/wpml-multilingual-cms/?section=changelog

2. Please make sure that you first create a full website backup so that you are safe no matter what happens.

3. The oldest version you are able to download from that link is "3.8.3". After that, I recommend that you update to each new major version (3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3).

You can also try to create a full website backup first and then update to the latest version and see what happens - it there's gonna be serious errors and not simple notifications, then please update gradually.
